Hi guys,
Being new to the sport I was astounded by the fakes. Could I ask a favour and can you verify this one for me.
Yonex arcsaber 10(GP) Peter gade
Cone Serial: 220713ch
Other Serial: 8788216
Other info is 3u/ 19-24lbs
G4/ 8.5-10.5kg
I am buying it from a local website here in Australia. I have read all I can and no from here how to tell fakes beyond serial verification.
Thanks I appreciate

Not to sure it's real because, vt 80 pg is just a pained Voltric 80 right , well the max tension stops at 27 lbs I'm pretty sure, I think it would apply to the Voltric 80 pg as well.

---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----racket model: Yonex Z Speedshaft serial: 4501329cone code : 030732ASsource : BadmintonConnect, Clayton price : $210 AUD---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----
The racket says its a 3UG5 but it's substantially heavier than other z-speeds i've tried. Could this be fake? Also, comparing the green Yonex cap at the bottom, I've found it is slightly lighter than two other z-speeds that I've come across. If this is a real racket, can someone please explain why mine is substantially heavier? Thanks!

IMO, this one should be fine.. I rarely see any fake AS code. if you are still unsure, you can post the pict of it? (opena new thread)

to be honest, maybe what you get is the heaviest or out of spec one. if it is 3G that means it will fall on around 85g-90g
maybe the previous two you came across is at 85-86g and the one you have now is at 89-90g. that's just how the G works. the range is pretty large that sometimes the differences is quite noticeable.
so, if it is quite noticeable, why they use the G range? most likely because sake of production. you cannot make a consistent 86g racket, there are many variables that can change the weight of the racket.

This one should be fine. We don't have a lot of data for made in Taiwan racket, but as far as I remember, this one should be in the expected range

should be fine. have you bought it? this thread is for your own racket
